This is just for fun.
I'm sure it's not accurate and I have no idea how it generates the names but oh well, give it a shot if you like.

Mine ended up being:
Nakamura (center of the village) Kazuma (one reality)

Cool!
Kazuma Nakamura, I likes it.

Saruwatari Aki. 猿渡 Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) 秋 Aki (autumn)

Sounds nice but could someone help me find out how I could write my name in Kanji. I borrow this thread if it's alright.

My first name is Joakim (means "Raised by God") and my last name is Andersson (now I have found that andersson is "Manly, yuusou") Anyone that could help me with this?

Do you want the phoenetic equivalent of your name in Japanese or the do you want the meaning of your name to be the same? There's almost certainly no way that you can get both.

Maybe:
神育 ("Shin'iku" = raised by God)
益荒男 ("Masurao" = manly man)

Masurao is an actual Japanese word, and I invented Shin'iku.

I did really want the meaning but you can show me both. I was told Andersson could be translated as yuusou.

Are we meant to put our name in Family name, Given name in to the box or other way around? Text was ambiguous.

Foreign names don't "translate" to Japanese, they have rough phonetic equivalents and honest people write those in katakana.

In my opinion any conversion to a Kanji name is lying to yourself if you think it has any relation to your western name.

This site just uses an algorythm or something, you can enter any old crap in the text box and get a 'name' back.

for instance I entered the md5 hash of the word moron (which is 2da1ab427df46b3cf8c7b28536c41fa5 ) and got the name 松尾 Matsuo (tail of a pine tree) 健太 Kenta (healthy and plump)

I bet you guys named 2da1ab427df46b3cf8c7b28536c41fa5 love your new name!

for those interested my real name comes out as:
浜野 Hamano (seaside field) 聖人 Masato (sacred person)

and my actual Japanese rough phonetic equivalent is ニール
